Hey!
I am new to this app, never wrote on forum.
I had my Daughter 5 and half months ago. I'm now ready to loose the extra 2 stone I gained whilst pregnant!!
I'm going into my 2nd week of my diet. I lost 3lbs in the first week. However, could do with help, tips, hints, recipes to keep me motivated! I'm going on holiday in June so really want to loose this weight! ☺

Hi Dene. U can add me if you like. I've been myfitnesspal devoted logging as best as I could all my foods exercises etc 2 years ago and managed to drop from 109kg(17 stone) to around 96kg (15 stone)! Felt great... but then started to have wee snack here, wee Cheeky drink there, etc so back to 99kg. I am determined to drop my weight up to 80-85kg before summer. I was 40 last November Fed up of having chubby cheeks and beer belly. My partner is quite Pettit and a size 8, she has a great figure and is always doing some type diet to loose 1lb. I found it funny when I need to shift at least 1 and 1/2 stone. She says I look great but I see myself in the mirror and It doesn't look sexy at all. I'm a great cook and love food and know that the secret to loosing weight for me is, do more exercise even if only 30 mn day and try to eat less. All my portions are man portions and as I don't need all that energy, I bought a small plate now. If it doesn't fit in it I won't eat it. . I do have muscly complexion and put muscle very quick when regularly exercising. The issue is my appetite also increases and if I stop exercising I just pile weight on. Last year on holiday I felt to be the biggest person in the holiday resort I was with my partner and got a few looks off people. I could read their thoughts "what is that girl doing with a massive guy like him!" So... felt shity but this year I'm going to try to be in shape for the summer! Fed up of looking like the guy from suther comfort advert (minus the speedos). Let's all do it in 2017. Great year to burn this fat away. I try to have my calories intake around 1500 daily, and I don't count the ones u can eat extra when exercise days. I don't get too fixated on the calorie counting as past experience told me that u need to enjoy what u eat or diet will not stick for long. So I eat what I like ( with moderation) have 1 day a week that I can get tonto ( tAke away and drink), but try to exercise often and build up to exercise everyday even if it is only 30 mn.

Hey if you want another friend feel free to add me. I'm going on holiday towards the end of June too, and I'm going to a wedding in may I need to look good for!

Used to be a fitness instructor (now a lazy computer scientist) and have some basic nutritional knowledge so I may be able to help a bit.
